Ashtagon’s X9 Savage Coast, 24 miles per hex
The second of three maps Emma did on the side while working on her Patera, 8 miles per hex map, this one focused on X9’s original version of the Savage Coast. She explained in a post at The Piazza:
Made using Worldographer and an extended version of Thorf’s hex art. This is a near-replica of the wilderness map from TSR’s Module X9: The Savage Coast.
This map relates to the pre-Princess Ark version of the region, which changed the area almost entirely. I believe some fanon suggests that the reality shift between this module’s version and the Princess Ark version might relate to the time travel and prophecy shenanigans going on in the Yavdlom Divinarchy.
The deep blues of Emma’s sea palette made this into a really nice-looking map.
As with the original X9 map, the scale was out; in order to fit it in with other maps, it’s more like 22.9 miles per hex. (And note that Emma’s scale was wrong again, listing 8 miles per hex — most likely copied and pasted from a previous map.) As with my own “assembled” version of X9’s map, she chose to place the two parts together; on the original, the right-hand section was presented in the space directly south of The Choke and Twin Islands.
